Hi Friends,I am looking to flip in the Tampa area and I'm in touch with a few Wholesalers and Realtors there.I have received multiple properties from them; however, I am always concerned that their ARVs are inflated, which will leave me in the red.How do you determine correct ARVs when you are not physically present and can't pull your own comps from the MLS?

I would have to pay for some legal expenses for deed work, etc and relator fee so,I would net around $55k .trying to determine what makes most long term financial sense. 

Some sellers refuse to understand that when inventory is up in a market, prices decrease. Overpaying for a home does not guarantee you'll get more for it later. Lol rules are rules!

I did see a thread back in November about house hacking and assisted living, but that approach didn’t seem quite as promising because it required more hands-on work, along with entity structuring and considerations like caregiver wages, food, supplies, licensing, insurance, overhead, etc.I liked Alex’s answer about looking into cost segregation studies.

All of these have different variables when determining pricing.

How does one determine my size of the equity stake?  

Most DSCR lenders will use the sales comparison approach to determine the value of the home.

So we've determined I can't wholesale in my SDIRA, but am I able to  as an individual not as a company?

I always look at the exit strategy for the property to determine which kind of Creative Finance I would use.

About a year ago, I made some mistakes that led me to prison, but that experience completely changed my mindset and made me determined to rebuild my life with purpose and integrity.
